A difficult and repetitive task in Mississippi is Mississyphean.

He’s Otis Spann, William Faulkner, and Fats Waller, walking through the streets of Greenwich Village in the rain.

It’s sobering to consider one’s slide into irrelevance. I’m getting around to the idea that rock music is niche interest, albeit a big one. This article explores that idea, with considerable help from Andrew Hickey’s brilliant @500songspodcast.bsky.social www.reddit.com/r/500songspo... #musicsky

Happy Birthday to singer and slide guitarist extraordinaire Bonnie Raitt, born 11/8/1949. She came up during the blues revival and found mentors in Sippie Wallace and Mississippi Fred McDowell. BB King always called her his favorite slide guitar player. “You got to give it up or let me go”

England, Arkansas, pop. 2,400, home to Real Fish, a 7 table catfish restaurant. Families fresh from church shouted over the r&b flavored gospel blasting. Meanwhile, “Secretary” (2002) played in HD. James Spader masturbates on Maggie Gyllenhaal’s bare ass. Even the bream in the tank were confused.

Man...this guy played on SO many dates, lived and breathed jazz, was NEVER satisfied to be one of the all-time greats but always kept looking for the next step up & out & into the music...we will not see the likes of Jack DeJohnette again soon.

Bruce Springsteen’s “Nebraska” is getting an extended/outtakes reissue. I was in 10th grade when it came out (1982), here’s my copy from then. Great record, really a blues album. I think. Like with blues (and Johnny Cash) songs, many characters end up dead or jailed.
